I am sure that there are a lot of people who are wondering why there is so much fervor over Obama making a speech to school children and with some parents going so far as to refusing to allow their children to listen to this speech.
One principal of a school states that the school's schedule is so rigid that they cannot fit it in today.
One principal states that the lesson plan for the teachers to follow afterward contains too much "hero worship" and does not allow for independent and critical thinking of the children.
I think there are many reasons that parents are balking but I think the main reason is: Everyday, it is becoming more and more evident that Obama and his associates are very "socialistic minded" and some parents are afraid that the "young minds" of their children will be impacted by the words of the President in a negative way.
Their fears are probably unfounded and he might give a wonderful and inspiring speech that will motivate the children. The problem is...who is our President? What really drives him? Is he trying to turn Americans toward Communism? His legacy today is being judged/written based on his past associations and goals which have leaned heavily left and toward Marxism.
Socialism has become a "dirty word" in the minds of most of us Americans. While socialism might work for some countries, we Americans fear that we would eventually wind up like Russia and Cuba, to state only a couple of dysfunctional countries.
